La Vialla 2019 Chianti Superiore ‘Casa Conforto’
$47.9992 Points, Wine Enthusiast:
“Earthy and savory, this enjoyable red opens with aromas suggesting underbrush, camphor and wild herbs. Showing the same earthy finesse as the nose, the palate is polished and tangy, doling out crushed raspberry, blood orange, star anise and truffle. Lithe tannins and bright acidity keep it fresh, taut and balanced.” – 92/100, Wine Enthusiast
Collemattoni 2019 Adone Igt Toscana
$31.9995% Sangiovese, 5% Merlot. A knockout at its price point. Enjoyable now, with the addition of Merlot increasing the suppleness of the fruit and palate. Delicate aromatics of red fruits, underbrush, truffles, violet petals, and spices spring from the glass. Sleek and polished, with some mocha and gentle herbal notes adding to the palate.

Springfield 2019 Whole Berry Cabernet Sauvignon
$44.99Springfield adopts a minimal-intervention approach in making its Whole Berry Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine takes its name, ‘Whole Berry’ from its vinification – with grapes macerated whole, then fermented with natural yeasts, racked, and finally matured in French oak for one year. The wine has a velvety-smooth texture with soft tannins and typical Cabernet Sauvignon notes of red fruits and hints of cedar. A tremendous bottle of Cabernet for the price.

Family-owned and certified organic since 2013. A seductive red, the nose offers enticing fruit-filled aromas. Look for plum and blackberry, savoury herb and subtle oak spice finishing with ripe tannins. Needs a bit of cellar time, but showing quite beautifully now!
Pelle 2019 Menetou- Salon Morogues

A classic style that is released ready to drink. Quite aromatic on the nose with a rich and powerful palate, quite full bodied for a Sauvignon Blanc and makes a great alternative to Sancerre.
La Rivolta 2019 Aglianico Del Taburno
$49.99100% Aglianico. “Outstanding example of what the Aglianico variety can deliver in the right hands. Ripe red cherry, orange peel and sweet herb aromas. Then rich, fresh and perfumed in the mouth, displaying outstanding cut and clarity to the vibrant red berry and blue fruit flavors. Finishes with a dusting of minerals and botanical herbs. Still very young and will age well.”
